The muddy key is a key that can be used to open the muddy chest in the centre of the Lava Maze in the Wilderness. You will need a knife or sword to access it. It can be obtained as a drop from chaos dwarves and the crazy archaeologist.

Using a muddy key to open the muddy chest is a medium Wilderness Diary task.

Loot

At the current prices, the guaranteed loot from one muddy key is worth 5,305 coins with a net gain of 796 coins if the chest is opened on a free-to-play world, or if no items from the rare loot table are rolled.
